Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle profile, coupled with moderate longevity, makes it perfect for office wear or casual daytime activities. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and isn't typically romantic enough for dates, though a light spritz could work for an outdoor spring or summer encounter.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

As it settles, a clean, aquatic floral heart emerges, blending delicate lotus, dewy rose, and a hint of vibrant blackcurrant and cool mint. The dry down is a sheer, clean musk that lingers subtly, offering a fresh and natural skin scent.
